COTTON- -SCRAPER ATTACHMENT FOR TURNING-FLOWS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 660,800, dated October30, 1900.

Application filed August 18, 1900. Serial No. 27,327. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN W. PAGE, a citizen of the UnitedStates,-residing at Como, in thecounty of Panola and State ofMississippi, have invented a new and useful Cotton-Scraper Attachmentfor Turning-Flows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved cotton-scraper attachment for turning-plows,one object of my invention being to provide a simple cotton-scrapingattachment which is adapted to be applied to and used in connection withany make of plow having a detachable point.

A further object of my invention is to effect improvements in the meanswhereby the cotton-scraper attachment issecured to the plow.

My invention consists in the peculiar construction and combination ofdevices hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a plow provided withmy improved cotton-scraper attachment. Fig. 2 is a detail perspectiveView of the moldboard of the plow with the point removed. Fig. 3 is adetail perspective View of the reverse side of my improvedcotton-scraper attachment. Fig. A is a landside elevation of a plowprovided with my improved cotton-scraper attachment.

The plow, which is a turning-plow of the usual type, hasthe moldboard Aprovided at its foot or lower edge with the usual ledge B, whichprojects forward therefrom, and the shoulder O at the rear side of saidledge adapted to form a seat for the usual detachable point, which isremoved, as here shown, when my cotton-scraper attachment is applied tothe plow.

The cotton-scraper attachment 1 is of suitable size and is approximatelysquare in shape. The same may be formed either of plate or cast metaland is curved and adapted to fit on the face of the moldboard. The saidcotton-scraper attachment 1 is provided near one of its lower corners,corresponding with the landside of the plow, with an opening 2, which isadapted to register with the usual bolt-hole 3 in the foot of the plow.A plate 4: is adapted to be placed on the ledge B and to fill the samefinsh with the face of the moldboard, the said plate being interposedbetween the ledge of the moldboard and the inner side of the scraperattachment 1. The said plate has an opening 5, which registers with theopenings 2 3, and a bolt 6 in said openings serves to secure the foot ofthe scraper attachment to the foot of the plow, as will be understood.The plate 4 may be either formed with the scraper attachment orindependently thereof. In order to prevent the scraper attachment fromturning on the bolt 6, I provide the same at its upper corner on itslandside edge with a downturned lug 7, which bears against the landsideedge of the moldboard A and of the plow-standard. Where the scraper ismade of plate-metal, the said lug 7 is formed by first cutting the plateonthe line 8 to form the inner side of the lug, the latter being bent atright angles to the inner side of the scraper attachment, therebyleaving a notch 9 in the inner upper corner of the latter.

It will be understood that my improved cotton-scraper attachment may bevery readily applied to or taken from the common to rningplow and thatby its use dealers will be required to keep only the one variety instock in order to supply the wants of their customers.

Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. A cotton-scraperattachment having a bolt-hole near its inner lower corner, for thepurpose set forth, and a rearward-extending lug near its upper innercorner adapted to engage the landside edges of the standard andmoldboard of aplow, substantially as described.

22. In combination with a turning-plow having a moldboard, acotton-scraper attachment curved to fit on the face of the moldboard andhaving-a rearward-extending lug near its inner upper corner engaging thelandside edges of the moldboard and standard, and a bolt to secure thelower portion of said cottonscraper attachment to the foot of the plow,substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JOHN w. PAGE.
